Taking the Fall

We've all read bad fanfiction. We've browsed the archives of Geocities, FFN and other fanfiction-hosting websites. However, there are stories that catch our attention. But then there are some that we are not sure about. The summary seems decent, and the spelling and grammar are proper, but we are still wary. We don't want to take a chance at reading a bad story.

So, this is the place to put them. If there's a story you think is promising, but don't want to read it in fear of being disappointed, then post it here, along with the summary. Maybe another reader will pick it up, read it, and tell you if it is good or bad, and worth your time--thus, "Taking the Fall."

Note: No one is under any obligation to read any Fanfics that anyone posts here.

Dropping a whole archive of Sasuke/Naruto on us? Well, I was hoping more for single fics, but I guess that will do.

I was playing nice. I thought about replacing Naruto with Naruko. And I limited it to English too.

Anyway, <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7538154/1/Kingdom_Hearts_Negima_Light_and_Magic' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>A Kingdom Hearts and Negima crossover.</a> Hoping someone gives it a try and says whether it is a decent read or not.

Magorum? He can't even get basic terms right. Negi's thought process is too simple.

Also, "The three looked over the horizon." Sentences should not be that short. I'd pass this.

There's a Sonic/MGLN crossover, believe it or not, called Sonic Adventure: Lyrical Step on FFN. Would someone be willing to give it a go and tell me their reactions.

If you want someone to take the plunge you should at least supply a link.

Your google-fu is weak.
He has a point, though. Since we're the canary volunteers, providers should, in fact, post a link to said story. Otherwise, why should we bother to go look it up? It's not our morbid curiosity that wants to know but the provider.

*sighs* Fine, fine. <a href='http://fanfiction.net/s/7562575/1/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Link. Happy now?</a> All I had to do is copy-paste the title into Google, and it was the first to come up.

It's utter crap. We are told which music to listen to, we outright told who's talking in the first half of the first chapter, and it's in present tense.

Only really good authors can successfully right fanfiction in anything buy past tense narration.

I read the first paragraph and physically had to "ABANDON FIC!". I had to read several passages of the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" to remind myself of good english writing.

That fic is vile.
